Job Category Customer Success Job Details About Salesforce Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action.
Tech meets trust. And innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You’re in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
The Health & Life Sciences Program Executive (PE) is a senior, executive-facing individual contributor (IC) within the Delivery Account Management (DAM) function of Salesforce Professional Services. As an IC, Program Executives hold no direct reports, and yet expertly lead large numbers of our most senior talent across our most complex customer engagements: multi-workstream transformations, strategic accounts, and enterprise implementations where the margin for error is narrow and the consequences of failure are visible at the C-suite. The PE is fully allocated to a single flagship transformation program or a set of strategic accounts.
They own the end-to-end program P&L, lead the Salesforce project team, run the steering committee, manage the executive customer relationship, manage scope, govern the budget, and surface risk before it becomes an escalation. The ideal candidate will bring a diverse IT and/or Management Consulting background and knowledge of Health & Life Sciences industry trends, leveraging this credibility as a strategic advisor to our customers, partners, and internal teams across Salesforce. The candidate will be able to craft innovative, forward-looking strategies while clearly defining the path forward, leading the changes to IT strategy, policies, processes, people, governance and partnerships, and translate program delivery into measurable business outcomes.
Health & Life Science Program Executives are at the helm of AI and Agentforce transformations that revolutionize patient outcomes and clinical workflows through autonomous, intelligent agents. They lead cross-functional teams that deploy cutting-edge digital workforces that bridge the gap between complex biomedical data and actionable healthcare insights], driving the next frontier of life sciences innovation. Their success is defined by what they deliver, what they prevent, and the customer confidence they command.
Your Impact AI and agentic delivery are embedded in how you work: you actively leverage AI tooling and agentic workflows to optimize how your program teams deliver. You reduce manual overhead, accelerate insight, and model the productivity gains customers are investing in Salesforce to achieve. Engagement Success is well-defined and honored: you create the program strategy, management approach, governance, and guide the customer at the executive and program level to align on the objectives and outcomes of the engagement as well as the KPIs to measure its success.
Customer outcomes are owned with clear accountability: you are the executive-facing delivery contact for your engagement(s) and are responsible for communications with the client and within Salesforce up to the CxO level regarding expectations, performance, governance, and issue escalation and resolution during the course of delivery. You earn trust through consistently-accurate forecasting, honest risk communication, and follow-through. The delivery team performs at a higher level because you're in it: you effectively lead, inspire, and uplift Salesforce Professional Services team members — coaching them to perform at a higher level while contributing to the internal processes, artifacts, and methodologies that raise the floor for service delivery across our most strategic accounts.
What you learn and implement travels. The full engagement is yours to deliver: you are accountable for overseeing end-to-end service delivery and meeting every contractual commitment. You work with the customer to amend and approve changes as necessary.
Bid-versus-delivered margin is your financial accountability. Value delivered translates into real adoption and consumption: you drive the transformational changes, especially around AI and agentic capabilities, needed to achieve customers' objectives, informed by deep industry and product expertise. You align IT strategy, governance, processes, and stakeholder decisions to ensure system satisfaction, adoption, and consumption directly deliver profound customer impact.
Risk is managed before it manages you: you anticipate, mitigate, and manage risk to Salesforce and the customer, taking decisive program action to address risk profiles ensuring every customer achieves successful desired outcomes. You raise signals with a recommended path, not just a problem statement. Surfacing a risk is success; being surprised by one is not.
White space becomes pipeline and internal alignment sustains it: you proactively build and expand business relationships which enable Salesforce to support, transform and win business that delivers mutual value, working hand in hand with Sales, Success, Technology & Product, and Support to drive customer adoption initiatives and maintain alignment as One Salesforce. You ensure alignment with Sales and develop multi-threaded executive relationships within accounts to accelerate value and improve customer outcomes. Delivery-originated pipeline is a portfolio metric, and you are one of its primary sources.
